When a slave has been declared inoperative, it can be automatically replaced with a slave of the same type.
If the
Automatic addressing utility of the configuration mode is active, the replacement happens without stopping the AS-Interface bus and without you taking any action.
Two options are available:
-
The replacement slave is programmed with the same address using a hand-held programming tool and has the same profile and sub-profile as the faulty slave. It is thus automatically.added to the List of Detected Slaves (LDS) and to the List of Active Slaves (LAS)
-
The replacement slave is blank (address 0 on bank A) and has the same profile as the faulty slave. It automatically assumes the address of the replaced slave and is added to the List of Detected Slaves (LDS) and List of Active Slaves (LAS).
